Ind vs SA Video : Indian cricket team score first win on South Africa tour wins first 20 20 match

India Tour Of South Africa 2006 Video Dinesh Karthik hit a last over six as India beat South Africa by six wickets in its first ever Twenty20 international at the Wanderers on Friday night. The victory ended the tourists' winless streak on the tour. India needed nine runs off the last over when Karthik (31 not out) pulled spinner Robin Peterson over mid-wicket for a six to virtually seal a thrilling victory. He then hit the winning run with a ball to spare to lift the sagging spirits of the struggling team. India scored 127 for four in 19.5 overs after restricting South Africa, who opted to bat, to a modest 126 for nine. It was the visitors' first victory of the tour after having conceded an unassailable 3-0 lead to the hosts in the five match one-day international series. The main contributors in the successful Indian run chase were stand-in skipper Virender Sehwag (34 off 29 balls), Dinesh Mongia (38 off 45) and Karthik (31 in 28). Earlier Zaheer Khan and Ajit Agarkar claimed two wickets each to put the brakes on South Africa's batsmen. India were off to a poor start again when Sachin Tendulkar (10) dragged a Charles Langeveldt delivery onto his stumps but then Sehwag and Mongia put the innings back on track with a 43-run second wicket stand.
